UEFI boot works fine on my system. Additionally to the advice in the wiki, I had to change one setting in the boot setup menu to "Other OS" from "Windows".
For some reason GRUB did not install properly and defaulted to KXStudio GRUB, from which I could boot MX-16. That was easily fixed by reinstalling GRUB from the booted MX.
Main points are -
- GPT partition scheme unless you want to use Legacy (CSM) boot.
- Disable Secure Boot
- Disable Fast Boot
- Check for Windows-centric settings.

For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them.

This deals more with installation, but I would assume if you have an option for boot priority (F12 or F8) you'll be able to get a USB stick running.

Thanks guys. My pc is set up for dual booting with linux. I am trying to run MX-16 as a LIVE USB on it which is not working. Your information has I think helped. The version of MX-16 I have is a 32Bit as that is all the Dell can run and so that is what I have on the usb. Seems that 32Bit versions need LEGACY bios and my Skylake pc is set up as UEFI.
So I will have a fiddle and see if i can get this to work.

"Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress toward more pain." -George Orwell, 1984
